The Jazz forum is delusional, they actually think that Jazz team belongs in some elite echelon. Saying things like we got "lucky" and they're for sure we won't make the playoffs. A lot of work has to happen for the playoffs to happen but like I said until we're mathematically out of it we still have a shot.

They win 5 straight on us and suddenly they think they own us.

Got one thing for you Jazz lurkers.......

Where ya championship banners at ?

Thought so.

As for the game it's definitely a start to something good hopefully.
Not gonna say its a complete 180degree flip quite yet.

As we all know by now complacency could be the biggest threat for this Lakers team.
If they want to make a legitimate shot at the post season they know that the cruise control option is unavailable.

Loving the high activity from both Pau and Dwight.
If they can continue with their aggressive high /low rotations this team has a chance. Metta is not going to shoot 5-7 from three all the time but that's okay as long as he stays in the flow of the offense . Which I must say the ball movement was great last night.

As for the defense it was great as well. Your not gonna shut down teams every night in the NBA.
But if the Lakers make a conservative effort and make it their focal point will be fine.
Looked to me like they all rallied behind Dwight as his defensive effort was inspiring last night.

The starters plus Pau all in double figures = Lakers basketball

Congrutaltions. I hope your season turns around. I honestly forgot how much I hate the Lakers after last night. Up until then, I thought it would be nice to see you in the playoffs to get revenge, but after that, I am not as confident.

Either way, Lakers need to snap out of that funk. This is one game, and meant something more than losing, like breaking records. I hope you can continue to pull out wins. With kobe triple doubling every night, I will see you in the playoffs.

Meh I believe we caught Utah on an off night and it was one of those nights for us where we seemed to put all of our problems aside and just went out and played basketball the way our veterans are capable of from time to time but not with any consistency.

All of us here hope our season turns around also but the time for us to get going in the right direction was a month ago. Instead of making progress we regressed and got worse.
